Amelie you Star!

Now three time Group winner and Melbourne Cup bound Amelie’s Star put in another gutsy performance at Flemington on Saturday to break through this preparation in the Group 3 $300,000 The Bart Cummings, 2500m. Following pleasing performances at her four runs prior, Amelie relished the step up to the 2500m trip for the first time this campaign. With Damian Lane on board she found herself settling in a nice position off the fence and behind the hot pace set by Granddukeoftuscany. She travelled well into the straight and when Damian asked for her effort she quickly chimed in and took over at the 200m – running on strongly for an impressive two length win.

It was great to see her back in the winner’s stall and it will no doubt be an exciting few weeks ahead for everyone involved – CONGRATULATIONS!
